To many, Feb 14 is indeed a date to be remembered as most of the couple are preparing themselves for this meaningful day; the Valentine Day. Yet no one really care to know what the story behind Valentine day is; by right, couples just celebrate today as what the majority are doing.
The Valentine Day or Saint Valentine Day is actually a day to remember St. Valentine himself for his faith in love; even at the edge of his own death, he live his life cheerfully just with love. He died on February 14, 269 A.D and slowly but surely, Feb 14 has become the date for many couples exchanging love messages and St. Valentine eventually became the patron saint of lovers. The date was usually marked by sending poems and simple gifts; well the gifts may vary from the basic: flower and chocolate to anything-one-can-imagine. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship on that day.
Feb 14 is surely a busy day for most couples; some will go all the way up to Cameron to pick their 99 roses, some ended up in some random gift shop, some busy booking fine dining place for two and some even travel all the way to Langkawi for a chocolate shopping spree. Why is all the fuss? “Sincerity!” that is what a girl telling me last night; to be frank; at the moment I heard about it, I seriously doubt it.
For me Valentine Day is none other than a lover game; played by most of the girls. Habitually the girls will usually take the chances of Feb 14 as their love meter; merely to see what the guys would do for them. You may laugh now, but more often than not girls taking it SERIOUSLY; if one is really so unfortunate for getting a low love meter score on Feb 14, I’m pretty sure that he’ll not enjoy his Feb 14 as punishment will forever prepared for him.
That’s all the fuss, that’s why some boyfriend ought to travel to Langkawi for chocolate, Cameron for roses, spending hundreds on wine and romantic dinner and many more. Just in order to escape their penalty, score a high marks on their love meter or maybe more intentions in the night.
Nevertheless there are always some guy who think differently; he didn’t travel to Cameron or Langkawi, he didn’t spend hundreds on wine and dinner. It’s just flower; pretty lame huh? Not only that, instead of giving real fresh flower; he’s giving her a bouquet of self made paper-folded rose, lamer right?
As I was watching him folding his paper roses; what I notice is that he puts his heart and soul into it. Making rose origami already aren’t easy, with sweat on his forehead as the weather is getting really hot recently; on top of that, he needs to learn it from base one as he never folded one before and not to mention effort for running around Perlis seeking for different type of paper; yet he never complain and seems that he’s happy with it. Of all the sudden, the word ‘sincerity’ strikes me; girl, maybe you are right: sincerity is what matter the most.
